Problem details
First occurence of problem:
Problem frequency:
Problem description: wanted to replace the default unifi router (orange-white box.) Modem dafault, white tower like.

Any one tried to config this router with unifi? My problem is, when i try to setup thru the wizard setup, it keep on showing the WAN setting is wrong.
WAN type only has 3 option;
- dynamic
- static
- pppoe

Choosing 'dynamic', it requires me to insert the MAC address.
Choosing the 'pppoe', needs me to keyin the unifi account.

Both failed.

I have confirmed the unifi account with the call center, nothing wrong.
Internet no issue, as when i plugin the default router back to modem, all is ok.

i follow the guide over here and i success use with unifi vip 5

hi funfunks,

thanks for replaying. my unifi modem are not the normal black color box. It was changed by them to a white color tower-like modem. Doesnt the steps still the same?

i m not sure about that, i using the black modem to mod

does that router support Unifi ?
i meant,support those VLAN tagging and everything
DIR-615 is not like any other ordinary router out there.Eventho it's a crappy router, but the main purpose of it's are to control those VLAN tagging and everything.
so u have to make sure your router supports the function
and also, you cant just simply plug in your BTU & STB RJ-45 cable on any port as each port are assigned with their own VLAN .

hi,

If the WDR4300 is not possible to be use with the ZTE(white tower) modem,

then would be it possible that, i disable the unifi default router (Dir-615) and have the WDR4300 hook up with it. Using the WDR4300 to transmit the wifi?

ZTE modem -> Dir-615 -> WDR4300?

maybe u try a look this

maybe can help

hi,

The box doesnt have any info of this router support unifi.

Anyway, im thinking of other plan to make use of this new router. (bought rm250 )

Would it be possible to have the setup as below;

ZTE modem connect to DLINK DIR615 and connect to TL-WDR4300 ?

Im thinking of diable the wifi on the DIR615. And using TL-WDR4300 to transmit the wifi.
Im not sure what needs to be change in the config; both router.

if u wanna try

ZTE modem connect to DLINK DIR615 and connect to TL-WDR4300 ?

u plug the lan cable at dir615 lan port and wdr4300 wan port, set wdr4300 using dynamic ip will do, no need extra configure

hi

No. Im not connecting 2 router to ZTE modem.

Its;

Modem connect to D-link, D-link connect to TP-link.

Single way.

Turn off the wifi on the D-link. Enable wifi on the TP-link.

D-link wont be use for any internet connection except from TP-link.

terminal (port 1) -> dlink (wan port) and dlink (port 1) -> tplink (wan port)

dlink turn off wifi, but still use as pppoe dialer,
tplink change from pppoe -> dynamic ip

Is that means it can be work?

just to make it clear;

so its, modem port-1 connect to d-link wan port, d-link port-1 connect to tp-link wan port ?

what kind of ip range that i have to put in dynamic setup for tp-link ?

any ip will do except the range use by dlink

eg, dlink use 192.168.1.1 mean that 192.168.1.x range cannot be used.

hi,

last night i tried.

Modem - no change
d-link - i untick the dhcp
tp-link - i plug the cable from d-link port1 to tp-link port1.

i start up the tp-link, i can see the wifi name. But when connected, it still no internet.

did i miss out some steps?

Here is my suggestion: -

Modem: Don't change anything
D-Link: Don't change anything except configure your DHCP to lease IP from 192.168.1.21 to 192.168.1.50
TP-Link: Read below.

1. Connect TP-Link Port 1 (remember its not WAN port) to D-Link Port 1.
2. Set your TP-Link LAN IP to 192.168.1.2 with netmask 255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.1.1
3. Disable DHCP in TP-Link.
4. Connect to TP-Link Port 2 from your notebook/PC.
5. If step 4 can get IP, you can connect to TP-Link WiFi.

thanks!

i will try this out tonight. Hope it works!

if u wan port 1 dlink -> tp-link port 1, the dhcp need turn on at dlink and not tplink or no internet happen

hi rootlinux,

it works. But the wifi signal is not that strong. In there a config in the tp-link that can boost up the wifi signal?

Cool...it works for you. To boost your wifi signal, try placing the tp-link to a best place or you can purchase higher dBi antenna.

You may download this inSSIDer to verify if there is any wifi channel interference.

bad news.

i have to remove the tp-link. as i notice that the line drop intermittently and not stable. Although the speed is ok but the internet drop.

I change back all the config back to square-1. Now, im having issue of the speed only about 4mb.

haih.
